I can't answer that for sure but the device does have a single standard headphone connector as its only output...as long as your device has that connector, it should work fine

Question 7

I just got a sound card today and it will not work with windows 10. will this thing be compatable with windows 10?

Accepted Answer

I have it running on windows 10 as we speak. When I upgraded from Win7 to Win10, the driver upgrade process went without a hitch.

Question 8

Will this work with the Nvidia Shield Android TV console, or would it be no better than a cheap adapter? I noticed a disc comes with this one, so are drivers necessary, and thus prevent usage with the device?

I know HDMI transmits audio, but my display only has DVI, so I need an alternate audio source, and USB speakers are not cutting it.

Accepted Answer

Like every Creative Labs product, there are no Linux-based drivers available. Since Android is basically a heavily customized semi-proprietary Linux flavor, you are probably out of luck. You would need to find a linux audio driver pack supporting this specific device, then get someone to decompile and redesign that driver for RISC-based computing and then have them recompile it for ARM-based Linux. Appealing to a deity might get you from there to something compatible with android. So, unless you are a programmer with hacked source code for the Android variant on your console and have detailed information about Creative's proprietary hardware and software for USB X-Fi cards, you're going to want to pony up about $50k for a software development team and hope they either get permission from both Google and Creative to do the work, or simply don't mind comitting a few felonies. Sorry about the long post. There may be adapters that can fork the HDMI into DVI video and analog audio. Finding one of those or buying a newer TV might be your best bet.

Question 9

Is the mic intput on this stereo or mono?

Accepted Answer

stereo

Question 10

Is it compatible with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)?

With this version, no. I think SoundBlaster has a more robust (and higher priced) product that does.

System requirements for this one is for Windows.
